Dropped my bike... with pic
I dropped my bike today in parking lot, tires were cold and I was leaning too hard at an angle while turning, it was about 5 miles per hour.
Only one side suffers damage, as seen in the picture. I wanna ask what can be done to fix this? The exhaust also has some scuffed marks, can I plasti-dip it (i have the stock black exhaust) |

You could try rebuilding the section with ABS cement. Put some clay on the outside to cover the hole, sand down the inside a bit, and then layer on ABS cement until it's about as thick at the fairing. You can sand/repaint the outside after if you want.

Rotten luck. Seems the signal stems get another fairing.

It'd be a shame to plastidip the SE fairings...I'd say grab some ABS cement / Fiberglass and try fixing it.
Edit: Just read you want to dip the exhaust...reading fail lol. I'd get some high-temperature exhaust paint for the can. I've seen some exhausts burn the plastidip off. |

I think he meant plastidip his exhaust since it got scratched.
I'm planning on using some barbecue high temp black paint on my exhaust. I dont think that plastidip will hold up to the heat from the exhaust can |

+1 on not using plastidip on the exhaust. It won't hold up to the high temps.

We're you leaning against the angle? Curious. I've never had a problem at that sort of speed with cold tires.
